Solution and Explanation
The swallow observed the sharp contrast between abundance and poverty as it passed over the city. It witnessed wealthy men having a good time, disregarding the suffering of the others down the lane.
When cops patrolling the streets deny the impoverished even a good night's sleep, it represents the lowest point in their condition.
